Black Point is a prominent headland located on the western coast of Pembrokeshire in southwest Wales. Jutting out into the Irish Sea, this coastal feature offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding rugged coastline and the open ocean. The point is characterized by its sheer cliffs, rocky outcrops, and dramatic sea caves carved out by centuries of erosion from the powerful waves.

The headland is a popular destination for hikers, nature enthusiasts, and photographers seeking to explore its unique geological formations and observe the diverse marine life that inhabits the surrounding waters. Visitors can enjoy walking along the coastal path that winds its way around the point, taking in the sights and sounds of the crashing waves and seabirds soaring overhead.

Black Point is also a significant landmark for sailors and fishermen navigating the treacherous waters off the coast of Pembrokeshire. Its distinctive silhouette serves as a navigational aid, helping ships safely navigate the rocky shoreline and avoid potential hazards.

Overall, Black Point is a striking coastal feature that showcases the natural beauty and rugged charm of the Pembrokeshire coastline.

Looking north across The Settlands The view north along the coast from The Point at Little Haven. The first bay in view is The Settlands which is followed by the minor headland of The Rain, beyond which is the beach at Broad Haven.

Folded rock strata at The Settlands Folded sedimentary rocks of carboniferous age coal measure sandstones, shales etc. The coal measure series run in a narrow band from St Bride's Bay eastwards through the Haverfordwest area to emerge on the SE coast near Saundersfoot. Coal was once mined in this area, but the contorted strata gives some idea as to how difficult extraction must have been.
